Continental Trading & Hardware — Attraction in Newark

Continental Hardware may not have the glitz of Lowes or even Home Depot, but they have all the hardware and supplies I have needed. I have purchased electrical supplies, shovels, ant traps, adhesives, plumbing supplies, tools, lumber you name it. They have always had whatever I needed.
